Definitions
- the present invention relates to calix[4]arenes which effectively bind alkali metal ions (Na + , K + ) and transport them over phase boundaries, their preparation and use.
- alkali metal ions can improve product quality in the metal-producing industry, the polymer industry, the biotechnological industry and other industries by making it possible to achieve a higher purity and, associated therewith, new and improved materials properties in the product.
- acidic or basic digestion solutions whose pH is to remain unchanged are frequently present. For this reason, neither acids nor bases (ammonia, inter alia) should be separated off if possible.
- calix[4]arenes whose molecular structure has been altered so that the alkali metal ions Na + and K + can be removed selectively even from strongly ammoniacal solutions by means of liquid-liquid extraction, adsorption or membrane techniques, leaving other metal ions completely in solution.
- this object can be achieved, inter alia, by means of calixarenes which do not bear any crown ether groups, as has been the case in developments hitherto, which are summarized below.
- crown ethers are unsuitable for industrial applications since, for example, (i) they penetrate into the skin on contact and lead to death of the skin, (ii) are somewhat water-soluble and thus relatively unsuitable for a continuous process and (iii) are very expensive. This class of compounds has therefore found some degree of use only in the chemical-analytic and chemical-preparative field.
- Calixarenes are in principle able to avoid the three disadvantages mentioned.
- the crown ether group has the following functions in the molecule (i) a stiffening of the structure so that the functional groups are kept in a defined, barely changeable position in space and (ii) to form a hollow space of particular size. If the crown ether group or a similar group such as an aza crown ether group is extended, the ligand becomes selectively for K + (Casnati, Pochini, Ungaro, Bocchi, Ugozzoli, Egberink, et al. (1996) Chem. Europ. J., 2(4), 436-445; Kim, Shon, Ko, Cho, Yu, & Vicens (2000) J. Org.
- crown ether groups (1) can also be employed for preparing Cs + -selective calixarenes (Dozol, Asfari, Hill, Vicens (1994) FR 2698362, 27, May; Dozol, Rouquette, Ungaro, & Casnati (1994), WO9424138, 20, Jul. 1999; Moyer, Sachleben, Bonnesen, Presley (1999) WO 9912878, 18, March).
- This group of substances also known as crowned calixarenes, is nontoxic and insoluble in water.
- Calixarenes without a crown ether group have been proposed by Harris (Harris, McKervey, Svehla, & Diamond (1992) EP 0490631 A, U.S. Pat. No. 5,132,345) for the analytical determination of the alkali metal ions Na + and K + by means of ion sensitive electrodes.
- group of calixarene derivatives (2) disclosed in this patent document is very broad, it does not include compounds in which a phenyl ring points in the opposite direction and the carbonyl groups at the same time bear different substituents, as is shown in (2) for a cone conformation.
- the corresponding structure (3) is referred to as a partial cone conformation.
- Partial cone conformation in the structure (3), R and R1 can vary within the molecule.
- Calix[4]arenes without a cation-exchanging group have likewise been proposed by Harris et al. for analytical purposes (Cadogan, Diamond, Smyth, Deasy, McKervey, & Harris (1989) Analyst, 114 (Dec.), 1551-1554).
- a summary of ionophoric properties of calix[4]arenes may be found in a melting part work (McKervey, Schwing-Weill, & Arnaud-Neu (1996) Molecular Recognition: Receptors for Cationic Guests. Comprehensive Supramolecular Chemistry, ed. G. W. Gokel, Pergamon Press, New York, Oxford, vol. 1, 537-603).
- the compounds in question here are tert-butylcalixarenes in the cone conformation.
- Compounds having this structure can serve as starting materials for further derivatives having ionophoric properties (Ludwig, Tachimori, & Yamato (1998) Nukleonika, 43(2), 161-174).
- Calix[4]arenes can undergo additional interactions with heavy metal ions such as K + and Cs + . These interactions are based on participation of the aromatic ⁇ systems and are referred to as cation- ⁇ interactions (Casnati (1997) Gazz. Chim. Ital., 127(11), 637-649; Inokuchi, Miyahara, Inazu, & Shinkai (1995) Angew. Chemie, 107(12), 1459-1461; Iwamoto, Araki, & Shinkai (1991) J. Org. Chem., 56(16), 4955-4962; Iwamoto, Fujimoto, Matsuda, & Shinkai (1990) Tetr. Lett., 31(49), 7169-7172). This is observed for conformers in an alternating or partial cone conformation. Nothing is said about a combination with a —COOH group or use for chemical separations involving K + .
- calix[4]arenes in a partial cone conformation which contain at least one cation-exchanging group.
- the invention therefore provides calix[4]arenes which, (i) contain at least one cation-exchanging group such as —COOH, (ii) are completely insoluble in water and can be used as extractants and (iii) have an unsymmetrical conformation.
- alpha-halogenated carboxylic acid groups can be present in the molecule.
- the calix[4]arenes of the invention can bind alkali metal ions and display selectivity for alkali metal ions over ammonium ions.
- the calixarenes of the invention have the following structure (4):
- FIG. 2 shows the reactions scheme for the synthesis of a calixarene of structure (4).
- a para-substituted phenol is condensed with formaldehyde in catalytic amounts of NaOH in a solvent to intermediate 1.
- Intermediate 1 is reacted in the second step in the presence of base and alkyl acetate chlorinated or brominated in the 1-position in an inert solvent to intermediate 2.
- the derivative prepared in this way, intermediate 2 is reacted in the third step in a solvent with an acid to obtain the pure product having the structure (4).
- test conditions see example 2.
- D concentration of K + in the organic phase/concentration of K + in the aqueous phase
- R 1 tert-octyl (1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)
- R 2 ⁇ R 3 ⁇ H.
- the carbon atoms are shown in black and the oxygen atoms are shown in grey; hydrogen atoms are not shown.
- the calixarenes of the invention complex K + at the same time as Na + , even in the simultaneous presence of an excess of NH 4 + /NH 3 .
- the compounds of the invention are compatible with other compounds such as commercial extractants or other calixarenes and can be combined with these for the purposes of chemical separations.
- novel compounds of the structure (4) can surprisingly be obtained in a single fashion by the following process, which is likewise subject matter of the invention:
- the compounds of the invention are extraordinarily chemically stable, which is reflected in the fact that they can be circulated in an extraction/backextraction cycle a number of times under alkaline (pH ⁇ 11) or acidic conditions without impairment of the separating action, as could be shown by means of the nuclear resonance spectra.
- the compounds are nontoxic and completely insoluble in the aqueous phase. They are solids which do not burn readily and can be stored for an unlimited time.
- the compound having the structure (4) either alone or in admixture with further extractants or adsorption media is dissolved in a chemically inert organic diluent, preferably one having a low vapor pressure, e.g. high-boiling aliphatics, or chemically or adsorptively bound to a porous support, preferably by occupation of the surface of macroporous structures such as polymers.
- a chemically inert organic diluent preferably one having a low vapor pressure, e.g. high-boiling aliphatics, or chemically or adsorptively bound to a porous support, preferably by occupation of the surface of macroporous structures such as polymers.
- the compound In contact with an aqueous solution which in addition to K + and Na + can also contain a large excess of salts of other metals, of ammonium, of other bases or of acids and also of uncharged organic compounds, the compound highly selectively extracts the alkali metal ions K + and Na + and leaves the other materials in the aqueous phase.
- the alkali metal ions are removed from the laden organic phase or the laden adsorbent in a few minutes by bringing the organic phase or adsorbent into contact with acid, preferably a dilute solution of a strong acid, e.g. 0.1 M sulfuric acid, regardless of the temperature.
- acid preferably a dilute solution of a strong acid, e.g. 0.1 M sulfuric acid, regardless of the temperature.
- the extractant is converted into the original, uncomplexed form and is available for a fresh cycle.
- the extraction yield can be increased in a simple fashion by increasing the ligand concentration.
- the reduction in concentration of K + by 50% and more in a single-stage extraction/reextraction allows effective separation.
